SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ifenslave is a tool to attach and detach slave network devices to a
bonding device. A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network
device to the kernel, but will send out the packets via the slave devices
using a simple round-robin scheduler. This allows for simple load-
balancing, identical to "channel bonding" or "trunking" techniques used
in switches.
The kernel must have support for bonding devices for ifenslave to be
useful.

OPTIONS

-a,--all-interfaces
Show information about all interfaces.
-c,--change-active
Change active slave.
-d,--detach
Removes slave interfaces from the bonding device.
-f,--force
Force actions to be taken if one of the specified interfaces
appears not to belong to an Ethernet device.
-h,--help
Display a help message and exit.
-u,--usage
Show usage information and exit.
-v,--verbose
Print warning and debug messages.
-V,--version
Show version information and exit.
If not options are given, the default action will be to enslave
interfaces.
